"My transmission went out in my car and I went to Amco because I have been using them and I had a warranty. I had the 2 yr 24 ,000 mile warranty and my transmission" ...More went out a few months later. I called them and they told me it was out of warranty and and that I only had a 2 yr 15,000 warranty. I was very upset I only went to them to get the 2 yr 24,000 mile warranty because I heard it on the radio. I then decided I would not take my car back to them. Someone referred me to

and they were excellent!! They saved me from a botched job from a well known transmission company. They were really personable. They called and checked on me to see how my car was running, and my car has been great ever since. They get an A+ from me

has done work on our cars before and it was very good and would have gone to him again. I called

to double check on another providers quotes and service projections. He took down the information and said he would call me back with his quotes. Within 20 minutes he did call me back, stated that the quotes ...More I had received were inline with what needed to be done and that the people we were dealing with were "good guys" and that we were in good hands. His reassurance made it easier to stay where we were and let the job go through.”

I made an appointment a week in advance because I was advised that I needed to for a Saturday at 8:30 am. When I showed up, I was told based on the description of the problem, I would probably need a transmission rebuild sight unseen. I had it to the Goodyear dealer during the week and he diagnosed the problem as the seal on the CV joint was leaking, ...More but they do not do transmission work. I work in the industrial products

with bearings and seals, and in fact used to be a sales rep for one of the largest seal manufacturers in the world. To diagnose a problem as a rebuild sight unseen is unprofessional. Then I was told he was not sure he could even look at it that day. One of their people had a health issue and no one was there to cover for them. My wife and I left, took it to the dealer on a Saturday and the dealer replaced the oil seals on the CV joints and the car is fine.”

I have been using their services for about three years. They are a family owned business. They are very nice and honest. They are straight forward in explaining what is wrong with the car and what servicing is needed. They have saved me a lot in costs in repairs and they

’t try to oversell any repair work.”

It's been very pleasant. They have good service advisers and reasonable prices. They seem to really care. I got some other work done when I was there and I had a pleasant experience so I've been going back ever since.”

Excellent experience at

in The Woodlands!
Car wouldn't start nor jump, so I assumed my starter had gone out. I'd been able to replace the worn-out part on my old Accord, and attempted to do so again with my Civic, but couldn't access it. So I found myself searching for a local auto shop to assist with the ...More repair and found

Total Auto Care and Transmission.
I called and spoke to

(who, by the way, not only gave his name upon answering the phone, but also asked for mine - a pleasant surprise!) to inquire about testing/replacing a bad starter. He said the testing would be free of charge, and he even agreed to let me bring in my own part to be installed, wow! Not many places do that, so I really appreciate their flexibility with customer requests.
I had my car towed to their location the night before and dropped the keys off first thing in the morning.

called later and informed me that my starter tested fine, so the mechanic suspected it was a battery issue. When I told him my battery had tested fine the day before,

took it upon himself to perform a retest and call me back with the results.
It turns out it wasn't the starter OR the battery, but the battery connection! The negative connector clamp/wiring was faulty, so they replaced it and my car started up just fine. When I stopped by, I got to meet the owner

, and he and

explained the diagnosis and repair in detail, patiently answering any questions I had.

even walked me out to my car to show me the repair in-person.
Awesome job, guys. You got me back on the road in under four hours, and at a fraction of the cost of replacing a starter! I commend your diligent diagnosis, prompt service, affordable repair, and most of all your honesty. You've earned yourself a loyal customer!”

“

came to us recommended by others, and after all the problems we had taking our cars to dealers, he has become the only mechanic we will trust with our vehicles. He is a matter-of-fact "old school" mechanic who can literally tell what is wrong with a motor by the sounds it makes! As a female who doesn't know much ...More about cars, I know he will explain how it works and what is wrong; I can trust that he is forthright about the service he provides. My husband knows that

and his wife will take good care of his family's cars if he is away on business, so there is no need to put something off until he gets back home to deal with a mechanic himself. We highly recommend this family owned business so much that we became members of Angie's List solely for the purpose of being able to write a review for

; we wanted others to know that there is a honest mechanic in the area that they can trust!”

They told me upfront how much and how long it would take.It only took 4 days. They were phenomenal. The price was good and they will tell you whether it is worth fixing. I was so impressed with them.”

They took my little GEO right in. It was slipping bad when it was cold, which is something these vehicles tend to do with many miles. Mine made it 180,000 before it started.

was wonderful ! It drives great ! Did a full rebuild with a 3 year warranty. They came highly recommended from a former Ford mechanic we knew. I would use ...More them again and have recommended them to all our friends. Great work at very reasonable prices !!”
